One more thing to note for you Blackhawk fans, Corey Crawford is good.

I mean really good this season.

Coming into this season, the big question mark for the Chicago Blackhawks as a team was in net.

Crawford has answered those questions firmly; after tonight he moved to a 5-0 record with a 1.78 GAA and a 93.3 save percentage.

If you're too lazy to do math, that's nine goals against on 134 shots against.

Crawford has solved the Blackhawks' biggest question, at least in the early going.

Chicago beats Detroit 2-1 in overtime.

Special teams played a big key in this game.

Detroit's inability on the power play represents only a small part of their failings in this contest, but if any of their six power play opportunities had been converted, this would have been a completely different game.

Credit goes to Chicago in this one, obviously.

They converted when they needed to (33.3 percent on the power play) and stepped up on the penalty kill (100 percent) when they needed to kill penalties in the first and second periods.

The Red Wings need to go back to the drawing board on their power play, as it is now converting only 7.7 percent of the time.

As a whole, this is a case of teams not necessarily going in different directions (despite what the records might indicate), but more along the lines of two teams who are at different areas of development.

The Chicago Blackhawks are firing on all cylinders, despite the fact that they looked extremely tired at some points in tonight's game.

The Detroit Red Wings on the other hand just looked out of sorts offensively, and occasionally off defensively too.

This is predictable as Jakub Kindl is out and Jonathan Ericsson (who hadn't played in a week) replaced him.

Kent Huskins and Brian Lashoff are no Ian White, but Kyle Quincey still needs to step up more.

Although Quincey was a plus-one tonight with a hit and two blocked shots, Quincey played over 20 minutes of ice time, with quite a few of those minutes of it coming on the power play.

Quincey should have been able to help the Red Wings power play at least a little bit tonight, but he didn't register any shots, and saw the puck skip over his stick numerous times while he was on the point on the power play.

Chicago Blackhawks 2, Detroit Red Wings 1 in overtime.

Looking back on this game, it was one of fatigue vs. being offensively inept.

Detroit held a tired Chicago team in check for the majority of the game, severely limiting the Blackhawks' scoring chances, but the offensively inept Red Wings could only cash in once on 30 shots on Corey Crawford.

The Blackhawks move to 6-0, while the Red Wings fall to 2-2-1, but still get a point, despite only scoring one goal in the game.

Detroit's goal has been a long time coming in this game.

Johan Franzen finally breaks through for Detroit, just four and a half minutes to go into the period.

Puck takes a weird bounce off of someone in front of the net, and Franzen buries it, five-hole, on Crawford.

Chicago Blackhawks 1, Detroit Red Wings 0.

End of the second period.

Detroit now 0-6 on the power play.

Chicago fails to score in a period this season for only the second time.

The Red Wings had a ton of chances, but Detroit coach Mike Babcock seems unwilling to separate Kyle Quincey and Brendan Smith as a pairing on the power play.

Chicago deserves a ton of credit on the penalty kill in this game.

The Blackhawks have shut down the Red Wings in the corners and forced the Red Wings to attempt passes that they have no hope of completing.

Detroit needs to slow down the game in the offensive zone, because right now, Detroit cannot set up any offensive zone time.

Detroit squanders their two-man advantage, but another penalty coming to Chicago for too many men on the ice.

Red Wings going back to the power play.

During the two-man advantage, Detroit's Johan Franzen was speared in the side and appeared to be injured, but maneuvered his way back to the bench after the whistle. No penalty was called on the play.

Red Wings fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Start of the second period.

Turnovers are a key in this second period.

The opportunities haven't been golden chances per say, but the chances have certainly been there and a lot of these have been gifts through turnovers on bad passes.

One interesting story line to follow both in this game and throughout the rest of the season is who will start on the Red Wings defense.

Tonight, Brian Lashoff has filled in tonight on defense in lieu of likely pre-season starter, Jakub Kindl.

Chicago Blackhawks 1, Detroit Red Wings 0.

Start of the second period.

As far as second period adjustments go, there are two major changes that needs to happen.

The Red Wings need to do a better job passing the puck ahead of the player receiving the puck.

Too many times in the first period, Detroit players passed the puck behind or into the feet of the player they were aiming for. This slowed down the Red Wings' attack and thwarted some key chances.

For the Blackhawks, they need to attempt to keep control of the puck.

The 'Hawks had some great chances when they moved the puck around and held the Red Wings at bay when they had the puck and forced Detroit turnovers.

Chicago Blackhawks 1, Detroit Red Wings 0.

First intermission.

There seemed to be a lot that both teams left on the table in that first period.

For the Blackhawks it seemed like they had the momentum for the first half of the period and then took some lazy penalties and lost a bit of their momentum. The 'Hawks got the goal with the man advantage and killed both of the Red Wings' power plays, but they lost a bunch of momentum with the penalties that they took.

For the Red Wings, although their power plays were sloppy and they gave up the power play goal, they are in pretty good shape considering they have some new faces in their lineup that have either not played in more than a week (Jonathan Ericsson) or not played in more than a year (Patrick Eaves).

Special teams are still playing a big role in this game so far, despite only six minutes of penalties.

Chicago has killed both penalties, while managing to capitalize on their power play.

Chicago is playing Detroit's game here. That game is keep away.

Scoring chance ends with a huge shot by Patrick Sharp, equaled by Jimmy Howard on the save.

For those fans that don't follow the Blackhawks that closely, this game is another prime example of how strong Marian Hossa is in his defensive game.

Hossa just missed burying an opportunity as he missed the net, after he knocked down a clearing attempt and just missed the goal from the slot.

Red Wings go to the power play here, Jonathan Toews off for two minutes or less.

Blackhawks have allowed only one power play goal this season.

Detroit has just two goals in 20 chances.
